69~Later

3 Months Later

Brie's POV

I slouch on the couch with my hands over my stomach. I've grown so much I could balance a plate over my stomach

I watched as Kevin played a video game. The kid was almost 21 and still was obsessed

I hear Olivia in the kitchen making brownies and on the phone with Devion. I'm mostly focus on TV but the spell of them was so amazing

After awhile I see James come from upstairs and head to the kitchen as well

He comes out with two water bottles and hands one to me. I get up and grab one

I walk into the kitchen and sit at the table. "So Olivia. What do you have planned today?" I take a sip of water

"Getting as much done as I can. Devion and I are leaving for Brooklyn in two days, not really enough time to plan everything"

I hear Ethan walk down the stairs and put on his jacket. Isabella was getting released today and we were all so exited so finally see her

Olivia gets an oven mit and takes out a pan of brownies. I lick me lips as I smells them

"Cool it baby hippo. You've already eaten everything in the fridge" Ethan says

Ethan reaches his hand to take a brownie but Olivia slaps it away "ow"

"These aren't for you"

He sighs and grabs a glass. He starts pouring whiskey into the cup "drink?" He looked up at me

"I'm 28 weeks pregnant" "So is that a yes...?"

Isabella's POV

I slowly open my eyes and everything still feels like a dream. I look to my left to see Ethan standing in the corner

He turns to me and smiles "hey" he walks up to me "hey"

"The doctor said only a few more test then you're ready to go"

I smile

"Thank you" "for what?"

"Everything you did. Coming to see me everyday. Yesterday was amazing". He looks at me confused "yesterday?"

"Yeah. At the school"

He looks at me with slight petty "Isabella that was 3 months ago"

"What?" "They took you into surgery after that and you were unconscious every since. Wouldn't let anyone in. They thought you wouldn't make it"

Everything starts hitting me. I lost 3 months. 3 months of the life I hoped for

He saw me going down a hole of sadness and tried to cheer me up. "Don't worry you didn't miss a thing. Well, except Brie ate the whole house"

He brought me back to my own home for me to check the mail and pick up new clothes

I walk to the door and see that the mail box was over flowing, as expected

I open the door and notice an envelope on the kitchen counter

I look at it, searching for where it was from

Bulgaria

Ethan comes beside me "What is it?" "I don't know"

Grayson's POV

I wait for Ethan to come home and I run to him "Ethan. Quick favor. I'm headed out and I need your motorcycle"

"I'm not giving you my motorcycle" he says in a strict tone

"E seriously I promised James I would be there" "why don't you use your car?" "Because I loaned it to Olivia for the weekend. Because I'm a nice person who lets others borrow my car"

"Exactly. YOUR car. Not MY motorcycle"

"Seriously E stop overreacting" I say and stick out my hand

He deeply signs and reaches in his back pocket

"I swear if I see one scratch" he starts. "You'll kill me". He places the keys in my hand. I mock him "yeah yeah yeah"

Ethan's POV

After he leaves Brie comes down the stairs as if on que

She looks around then asks me "have you seen James?"

"Nope. Gray just left to met him" she signs and starts to turn around

Brie's POV

"What happened with you two?"

I turn around. "What do you mean?" "You and Grayson. You two haven't spoken to each other in two days"

I shrug not really wanting to be talking about this with him

"What happened on the beach Brie? You know I'm gonna find out so you might as well tell me now"

I take a deep breath knowing he was right. "Me and Grayson almost kissed"

He looks at me with no emotion "that's it?" He chuckled "jeez I thought you two killed someone or something. But a silly non kiss. Wow I'm trembling"

"Shut up Ethan you don't get it" "oh no I got it. Was his hair not swooped the perfect way? Were his eyes not the beautiful color you imagined? Was he not as smooth as he was in your dreams?" He said dramatically

"Or" he started. Noticing the expression on my face "were you not what he dreamed?"

"Oh my god did he reject you?" He started laughing hysterically

"It's not funny" I said getting angrier. These hormones were really messing with me

He continued laughing "I'm sorry. It's just after all these years you'd think he'd come around. But I guess some people-" I feel my eyes turn and out of anger I took his phone that was on the counter and smashed it to the ground

Isabella's POV

I finally get a call back from Ethan

"Hey. Where've you been I've been calling you for the past hour?"

"Yeah I know. Brie broke my phone" "What did you do?"

"Hey why do you automatically assume it was me. Maybe it was her hormones" he says. "Fine. I'm sorry"

"It's ok. So about tonight..." "what about tonight?"

"Me. You. And Netflix. 8 o'clock sharp"

I laugh "or ya know. You can just tell me when you get home. You call I come. I'm easy like that" he says. I can picture his smirk from across the phone

"8 o'clock. You got it"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We cuddle on the couch and watch Netflix

"I'm so happy this reality" he says

I smile. "Me too" "things have just been insane. With Melissa and Michael and the note...." "What note?" I look up at him

"Oh my gosh I forgot to tell you. Grayson found a note on his car that said the babies won't survive if they don't get what they want. But don't worry about it. It's been 3 months and nothing's happened, and even if something did I have a plan" "what's your plan?"

"Give her what she wants. The cure"

I get up from under his arms "What? Ethan no"

"Why not? It's easier that way?" "What happened to you not wanting her to have it?" "I realized you would get hurt"

"I'm gonna get hurt either way" "but this way we have time. She'll be easier to kill. Please bella just trust me"

I wanted to but I couldn't. There had to be another way

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom" I say and get up. I go to the bathroom and lock the door

I turn on the sink and dial the number

"It's Isabella. Meet me tomorrow. 5 o'clock in the woods. I have an offer to make"
